Understand the full process, including timelines and deliverables
At RankGuru, our goal is to offer the most effective, transparent, and fairly priced SEO service available. The idea came from my own frustration—after a poor experience with an SEO agency during a previous venture, I set out to build something better.
Five years later, we’ve combined genuine SEO practices with the power of machine learning to create a streamlined, results-driven service.
While we embrace AI for research, analysis, and productivity, we steer clear of using it for content creation due to the risks it poses with Google. This balance allows us to keep pricing reasonable while ensuring our team delivers real results—supported by skilled, human-driven content.
Rather than relying on high fees, complex workflows, or binding contracts, we take a different approach:
This model has helped RankGuru become a trusted name in white-hat, fully compliant SEO.
At RankGuru, we are committed to continuous improvement. While we recognize that no team is perfect, we strive each day to be the most reliable and results-driven SEO partner for businesses seeking sustainable growth.
Our philosophy is service-first, not sales-first. You won’t receive constant pitches or be offered unnecessary services. Our focus is on delivering real value through ethical, effective SEO.
We welcome your feedback and are always open to suggestions on how we can improve. If you’d like to connect directly, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].

An Overview of Our Reporting Process.
Let’s go over the specifics.
There are two primary ways to track the performance of your SEO and PPC campaigns:
Log in to your account to view real-time updates via your dashboard. We update your keyword rankings, audit scores, and backlink profile daily. Please ensure you’re viewing the data within the correct date range, as this can impact your interpretation of progress. For assistance with navigating the dashboard, refer to the video guide above.
At the end of each calendar month, you’ll receive a comprehensive PDF report via email. This includes detailed insights into your rankings, on-site optimizations, backlink performance, and organic traffic trends.
We offer a 7-day free trial to give you a clear understanding of how our service works. During this period, we prepare your keyword recommendations, create a tailored optimization plan, and deliver a custom-written article for your business.
You can begin your free trial by selecting a plan here. Once selected, you’ll be prompted to complete a brief onboarding form where we’ll ask for your website URL, along with any content or keyword preferences you’d like us to consider.
After submission, you’ll receive a confirmation message in your inbox. You’re welcome to reply directly to that thread with any additional details.
From there, our team will activate your trial and deliver your keyword recommendations, optimization plan, and custom article within a few days.

Within a few business days, you’ll receive your keyword strategy, on-site optimization plan, and custom content outline for review. These are initial drafts, and we welcome your feedback — if anything is missing or needs adjustment, please let us know right away so we can refine it promptly.
After the 7-day trial period, your first monthly payment will be processed automatically. All plans are month-to-month, with no long-term contracts or upfront annual commitments — giving you full flexibility.

RankGuru delivers clear, consistent results — with full transparency at every step
Our SEO process is structured around three foundational pillars:
1 – Weekly Blog Content
2 – On-Page Optimization
3 – Custom Outreach
In the first month, we establish the foundation for long-term SEO success by focusing on three key areas:
1. Weekly Content Scheduling
We prepare and schedule content on a set day each week, then send it to you for approval. Once approved, we’ll publish it directly to your blog. Prefer a hands-off approach? You can enable auto-approval, and we’ll publish your content each week without requiring confirmation.
2. Full Website Optimization
Your website undergoes a complete SEO and technical audit. We fix all identified issues — from metadata to speed and structural improvements — and rescan your site to generate a before-and-after report, which you’ll find in your dashboard.
3. Targeted Link Building Outreach
We begin custom outreach to secure high-quality backlinks. For local businesses, we focus on local placements; for national or online businesses, we prioritize niche-relevant publications. These backlinks are placed in live, editorial content — often referencing the blog posts we create for you.
Note: We never purchase backlinks or use artificial link networks. Our approach is fully organic and sustainable — designed to protect and strengthen your domain for the long term.
By Month Two, your published content, optimizations, and backlinks will begin indexing in Google, allowing early performance gains to surface.
By this stage, your website has been fully optimized, your content is live, and our outreach efforts are well underway. This is typically when you’ll start to see early movement in rankings and organic traffic.
It’s important to note that SEO progress is gradual — the first month is foundational, and it can take a few weeks for Google to fully index new content, optimizations, and backlinks. Initial changes may be subtle, but they set the stage for long-term results.
In Month Two, we continue to:
This phase is all about consistency and refinement — building on what’s in place and strengthening your site’s authority in the eyes of search engines.
By the end of Month Three, you can expect to see significant progress:
Local businesses tend to rank within more defined geographic areas, while online businesses compete across wider search landscapes. Our content and outreach strategies are designed to compound in value, gaining momentum week after week.
At this stage, you can expect:
Our approach to SEO is built on consistency. Everything we do is structured to deliver long-term, sustainable results — with the goal of providing real, measurable ROI through meaningful, hands-on work.
Questions? We’re here to help — feel free to reach out at any time.
You’ll have a fully optimized website, high-quality human-written content, and authentic backlinks — all key drivers of stronger search rankings.
RankGuru operates with a transparent framework—fully aligned with Google’s expectations.
Let’s go over each part.
Our content is written in-house by experienced creatives—no AI fluff or outsourced shortcuts. Each article is crafted to target intent-driven keywords that help build ranking momentum over time. We deliver blog content weekly and can either publish automatically or wait for your approval—your choice.
Have specific topics, preferences, or guidelines? You can share them anytime via the request center. For a full breakdown of our content process, click here.
We take care of all the technical and on-page SEO work for you. Once you sign up, we’ll audit your site, identify key issues, and implement fixes within the first month. After that, we run a follow-up scan to show a clear before-and-after comparison.
Prefer to handle implementation yourself? No problem — we can send a detailed optimization report for your team to action instead.
We never edit your content or branding without approval. Our approach focuses on structure, usability, and relevance—not outdated keyword stuffing. Your site remains fully intact, with SEO enhancements that respect your brand.

Backlink acquisition is a critical part of SEO—but it only works if your site is optimized and supported by original content.
Unlike many SEO providers who rely on private blog networks or sell links, we take a different approach.
At RankGuru, we run custom outreach to secure placements on real, active websites. For local businesses, we prioritize regional relevance; for online businesses, we focus on industry authority. It’s similar to digital PR—but built specifically for SEO.
Our process is 100% compliant with Google’s guidelines. We don’t guarantee links, use any link networks, or engage in anything that risks penalties.
These links take time—typically going live in months two and three—but they’re valuable, long-term assets. We prioritize quality over quantity, always.
For a full overview of our backlink strategy, click here.
You’ll have access to a live dashboard that tracks your keyword rankings, site health, and backlinks—updated daily. It’s detailed, flexible, and ideal for those who like full visibility into their SEO performance.
Prefer something simpler? We also send a clean, easy-to-read PDF summary at the end of each month. And if you’d like any custom additions to your reports, just let us know—we’re happy to tailor them for you.

An Overview of How We Structure Blog Content
Let’s walk through the details.
For most businesses, blog posts between 700 and 1,100 words are ideal for engaging readers and supporting a strong user experience. We focus on intent-driven topics that naturally support your core pages—each optimized around your target keywords. Key metrics like click-through rate, bounce rate, and average time on page are what really move the needle.
If we believe a longer article is necessary for better results, we’ll let you know in advance. And if you prefer a higher word count, just send us a quick message—we’re happy to accommodate.
While some SEO providers focus on keyword-stuffing content just to game rankings, we take a more sustainable and user-focused approach.
Effective SEO starts with valuable, user-focused content. As a result, we focus on intent-driven topics that attract high click-through rates and enhance the user experience. This also supports backlink acquisition—we reach out to publishers, understand what content they’re willing to reference, create it, and publish it on your site.
If you’d like us to follow a particular content format or structure, let us know here.
Our content is designed specifically for your blog. We’re happy to publish it for you. You can either review and approve each post weekly in the request center, or let us know if you’d prefer automatic publishing.
We’ve made the revision process quick and seamless. Submit your feedback in the request center and expect updates within 1–2 business days.
Here’s How We Improve Your Site’s Structure, Speed, and Search Visibility
Let’s walk through the details.
When you start your free trial with RankGugu, you’ll find a site auditing tool inside your dashboard. It scans your website for technical and SEO issues, giving us a clear picture of areas that need attention. Once the scan is complete, we’ll notify you and begin crafting a plan to resolve any problems identified.
Keep in mind, some flagged items may not be actual issues. This often happens due to certain plugins (especially on WordPress) or unique configurations from your website builder. If anything looks off but isn’t a real concern, we’ll clarify that for you.
For local businesses, we’ll also audit your Google Business Profile. This optimization is typically quick and is usually completed within a day.
We manage the full optimization process from start to finish. Here’s what’s included:
You’ll get a clear report comparing your site before and after optimization.
Our goal is to complete the core optimization within the first month. This timeline depends on receiving timely editor access to your website. If your site has over 100 pages, additional time may be required to fully address everything—so we appreciate your patience with larger sites!
Keep in mind, optimization is an ongoing process. While most technical and on-page issues are resolved early on, we continue refining and improving performance in the following months.
Please note: We only secure backlink placements on English-language websites. We’re unable to conduct outreach in non-English markets (e.g., if your business is based in Thailand but there are no English-language sites relevant to your niche, outreach may be limited).
An Overview of Our Backlink Acquisition Process.
Let’s walk through the details.
Our outreach process only works when your site is being actively optimized and publishing fresh content. That’s why we don’t provide backlinks as a standalone service.
If you’re following Google’s guidelines, backlinks can’t be purchased or done in isolation. Providers offering backlinks without content or optimization are typically relying on paid placements or artificial site networks commonly known in the SEO world as PBNs (Private Blog Networks). We don’t use them and we strongly advise against it.
At RankGuru, we earn backlinks by reaching out to real, active media sites that are either local to your business or relevant to your industry. These publishers regularly update their content and often need fresh references which is where your weekly blog content comes in.
By providing valuable, informative content that publishers are happy to link to, we create a win-win: their content stays relevant, and your site gains authoritative backlinks. Over the years, we’ve built a strong reputation as a trusted source of quality content enabling us to secure consistent backlinks for our clients, the right way.
This approach offers several key advantages:
There are a few considerations to keep in mind with this approach:
The more content we publish, the more outreach opportunities we can pursue on your behalf. Please note that we do not guarantee a specific number of backlinks, as all outreach is done manually and organically—we do not purchase links or use private networks. Because this is based on real publisher relationships, the number of placements may vary from month to month due to factors outside our control.
Estimated monthly range:
Backlinks typically begin appearing around month 2 or 3. While we aim to get them live as quickly as possible, timing can vary depending on external factors—such as publisher schedules, content updates, your website’s optimization status, and whether our blog content has gone live.
Once a link is live, we’ll notify you immediately through our Majestic integration, a trusted backlink tracking platform.
If you’re seeking a sustainable, white-hat backlink strategy, we’re a great fit.
However, if you’re looking for artificial link boosts through private networks or fake placements—we’re likely not the right provider. 😊
Offering SEO and PPC to your clients can be complex, resource-heavy, and risky if not done right.
RankGuru provides an all-in-one, white-label solution — compliant, scalable, and backed by infrastructure that delivers real results.
We strictly follow Google-approved methods, helping you protect your reputation and deliver consistent value.
Here’s how we make it easy for you:
We use AgencyAnalytics to keep reporting simple, transparent, and always accessible. You and your clients can track results anytime, without waiting on manual reports.
Just send us your logo, and we’ll custom-brand the platform. No extra charge — it’s part of the service.
All work is completed by our in-house, full-time team — no outsourcing. The results belong entirely to you and your client. It’s your relationship, your results, and your success story.
Our team operates under strict employment contracts with enforced data protection, supported by robust terms and privacy policies.
Clear communication is key when offering a white-labeled service — and we prioritize it. Our support team is available 24/5, and we follow an inbox-zero approach to ensure quick, consistent responses. No long waits — just prompt, reliable support.
When choosing a white-label SEO or PPC partner, it’s crucial to work with a provider that prioritizes client confidentiality and data security. At RankGuru, client privacy isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a foundational part of how we operate.
Here’s how we protect your clients and your agency:
Most white-label SEO and PPC providers rely on freelancers to fulfill their work — a practice we believe introduces serious risk. Your agency’s reputation, client data, and long-term results deserve better. That’s why we’ve built a fully in-house team and a secure infrastructure to ensure everything is handled professionally and safely.
We’re also happy to sign NDAs and confidentiality agreements as needed. All deliverables are fully owned by you and your clients — not us.
If you have any questions about how we protect your data, feel free to reach out. 😊
Want to tailor your service packages? We make it easy to customize what you deliver to your clients.
Custom Content & Word Counts: Adjust the volume of content to suit your clients’ needs.
Add Keywords at Wholesale Rates: Expand your keyword targeting affordably.
Offer Additional Content Services: From blogs to location pages, scale your offering with ease.
Google recently expanded its indexing API — previously limited to job postings and news — to support all types of websites. This marks a major shift in how quickly content can be discovered and indexed.
At RankGuru, we’ve already built the infrastructure to fully support this. Since indexing delays are a common pain point for clients, we’re excited to offer a streamlined solution. Here’s what you can expect:
1 – Grant delegated ownership access to [email protected]
in your Google Search Console here.
2 – Choose your billing preference: [Monthly – $19] or [Lifetime – $199].
3 – Please allow a few business days for us to complete the submission process.
Once everything’s set up, we’ll notify you when your site is fully indexed. From there, we continue monitoring for new pages weekly and submit them for priority indexing on your behalf. You’ll also see confirmation like the example below in your Google Search Console.
We strongly recommend this service — it’s far more efficient and reliable than manually submitting pages.
While we wish we could offer this for free, the process involves both development resources and manual team effort. To sustain this, we charge a small service fee to cover the cost of ongoing maintenance and support.
Have questions? We’re happy to help — just reach out.
We provide a broad range of high-quality content solutions, crafted by our top in-house writers and editors. While we don’t promote this service heavily to the public, it’s available to our partners — allowing us to manage volume while maintaining exceptional quality.
